dm cache: add cache block invalidation support

Cache block invalidation is removing an entry from the cache without
writing it back.  Cache blocks can be invalidated via the
'invalidate_cblocks' message, which takes an arbitrary number of cblock
ranges:
   invalidate_cblocks [<cblock>|<cblock begin>-<cblock end>]*

E.g.
   dmsetup message my_cache 0 invalidate_cblocks 2345 3456-4567 5678-6789
